This Week: TV | Film | Video | Trailers | Paperbacks | Hardcovers
Out in cinemas this week: A trip to the wrong end of the universe for answers about humanity's origins leads to a terrifying battle for survival; a bunch of destructive war machines try to wipe us out here at home; and some wisecracking beasts try to get home via the back roads of Europe.
The question swirling urgently around Prometheus has always been, can Ridley Scott, with the benefit of longer experience and expanded moviemaking technology, possibly expand on the awesomeness of Alien and Aliens? The answer is yes.

From the trailer, which seems like a demo reel for a CGI explosives expert, one would be justified in thinking that Neil Johnson is quite keen on the whole wiping out humanity thing.
